Adele - All I Ask, Birmingham NEC Genting Arena, April 2nd 2016 (sound failure)

[@Jiovi92]

it's crazy how everyone jumped in at the same time. Proof that Adele's fans are the best!

[@TheReeShow]

I love that you could also still hear her.

[@TamaraPereiraPeixoto]

+Bea Kiddo I think they were already singing with her before, but we couldn't hear it because of the instruments and Adele's microphone. I have seen this happening before in concerts of others artists.

[@TamaraPereiraPeixoto]

+Raj Chaggar That is really nice. I am from Brazil and here the crowd is singing with the artists literally all the time, but in some videos we can't hear them because of the loud instruments and microphones, that's why I thought this happened in this video too.

[@nnl18]

Her face was shown on the giant screen behind the whole song. People can still see Adele's lips movement when the sound was off.

[@jessadkins2523]

Definitely. Amazing woman!

This is honestly so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. It's amazing how music really does connect us.

[@lynnhartshorn7844]

My seat was directly behind the sound guy and when the boards went red - he leapt about 3 feet in the air !!! He actually sagged in relief when whatever he did got the sound back. Just before crowd kicked in, i could still hear Adele. At the end, some guy shouted 'we got your back Adele !' Not that she needed us, but for that short time, we actually felt part of her backing group ! :)

[@earl77]

+Lynn Hartshorn That is so cool, must have made the experience even more magical, I wish I could see her live someday. Send My Love will be the third single but I hope All I Ask will be the fourth, it's my favorite from 25. They played All I Ask on the sound system at Wal-Mart a few days ago and nearly everyone stopped what they were doing to listen to it, it's such a classic, heartbreaking yet beautiful.

[@thebluegaming7706]

Cool!

[@jacintaanderson]

the whole time muttering fuck fuck fuck turn it off and on, wheres the cord fuck fuck

[@jacogreeff4644]

[@toddstein5407]

That must have been awesome!!!

[@isalmeida2006]

"Every f***ing show I sing live", very few artists can say the same. Adele rocking on talent!

[@Neb30925]

Definitely not Celine Dion.

[@staceylopez5285]

And Ariana grande

[@noelyacat139]

Definitely not britney

[@deionhouston9303]

Her and Whitney are the main two vocalist who don’t believe in lip syncing! I love them both for that.

[@w.k.7277]

Marie Fredriksson

[@LaloRacer1]

The goosebumps her voice gives me 😩😩

[@headlight31]

The only singer in this generation with a fucking great voice with class.

[@jakubkoren6188]

And the late Amy Winehouse

[@nikhilkansotia5243]

Niko Dejarme lady gaga too

[@misterfrixx9365]

Nikhil Kansotia you serious?

[@Spooky_Psyche]

Demi Lovato tho.

[@rrreasons2002]

Niko Dejarme IMAGINE DRAGONS ARE THE BEST WHAT U GUYS TALKING ABOUT

[@lindagreen4804]

I was at this concert. What a true pro she is. I could still hear her singing even without the sound system, pretty amazing. Great show, great singer, great night.

[@LuisGarzaHo]

The audience singing the chorus gave me chills, I love this performance.

[@kaliyahdeshields3680]

at least we know she really sings

[@quincyburton9793]

Kaliyah Deshields lmao

[@marco_spin]

I had no doubt about it

[@acedcoffee]

she never lipsynched

[@ariari2454]

She can really sing with all emotion she brings....

[@Diary_of_an_Alien]

I think the only one that had doubts about that was you

[@nnl18]

"Every fucking show I'll sing live." - Adele

[@Evolutionz2k12]

Respect, a singer who actually sings their songs without playback!

[@cjsvids8760]

She always sings LIVE, even till this day!!

[@earl77]

This is my favorite song from 25, what a great crowd, her fans are the best.

[@mollyverrelli185]

stan smith mine too!

[@RBMan87]

The most incredible part of this is that there are thousands of people singing and you can still hear Adele!

[@rayperth3451]

3:42 "You're so fired"

[@renzoperez5727]

+Ray Perth She's telling the piano man to start to play

[@elliebonbon8663]

+Renzo Perez Medina No I think she looked at the piano player because she didn't know why people were cheering but I could be wrong...

[@alliep4744]

She may also have been looking back to the pianist right before her key change as well! Or she was looking for the streaker she thought was on stage haha

[@pinkmusiicluva]

+Ray Perth That made me laugh so hard. That look is SAVAGE!

[@James-fq7dd]

+Ray Perth haha no, i was there, she was oblivious to the fact the sound cut out. she asked the audience why they cheered after, maybe she thought someone had joined her on stage or something had gone wrong so turned round to check

[@Ritzo1017]

Crazy. When the music came back, you can see she was singing perfectly just like there was no sound failure at all. What an amazing performance!!

[@webmasterasg]

That's because she is wearing in-ear monitoring (headphones) and just the 'public address' speakers (the PA she refers at the end) failed. The rest of the sound system and her headphones were perfect during the whole song. That's why at the end she asks what happened. She really didn't know.

[@jersontaguibao]

The power of her voice you can definitely hear at 3:28 when she sings "remember us"

[@elliegaba8548]

right??? such a Queen 😍

[@sefinadwiyanti4114]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@thevandesilva3436]

I know right ! Wonderful ! My fav !! Rock it Adele !

[@_MilanS]

Among all these people still her voice is above all, truly amazing

[@cjsvids8760]

Why doesn't it ever happen too the singers that actually lip-sync?

[@drawwithlisy3325]

This mistake made this performance so incredibly lovely. I am sure it is all singer’s dream that your audience can sing along with you like this way.

[@gabrild2]

5:13 - Every fuck**g show I'll sing live. I'll do. LMAO, we all know, bae.

[@jazminaltesnolasco4721]

Gabriel Augusto I sing live*

[@shanzie593]

even though she plays these huge venues now, she still succeeds in creating an intimate atmosphere. amazing

[@walterhartwright]

+shanzie Amazing indeed. She was nervous about playing arenas precisely because of losing that intimacy. She needn't have worried. Her personality and interaction with the audience not only makes it feel like a small venue, but makes it seem to everyone that they're her friend . That's an extraordinary gift.

[@tfimperfectangel]

She is singing "All I ask is if... this my last night with you?" to the sound engineer. LOL~

[@RickardoAgusta]

+tfimperfectangel bravooooo

This low key made me cry. Music really does bring us all together.

[@janayherewini4157]

Adele is more than gift to this earth.

[@zacabdul420]

I just cried when the sound came back. She is a legend!

[@adamkamal9364]

OMG 😍😍😍 ADELE AND HER FANS ARE AMAZING TOGETHER ❤👏

[@t4marah]

OMG MY SCHOOL WENT THERE AND I LIVE SOOOO CLOSE I LIVE IN SOULIHULL AHHHHHHH

[@acedcoffee]

3:33 idk why that sounded flawless to me

[@Observoyager]

An exhibition of talent and poise. The only real superstar today!

[@1LilDave]

Love that she had no idea ... she has the sound from the keys and the microphone direct to her ears ... so she had no idea. And I love that 'I do every show live'

[@seldomvisions]

“you can all come down to the front if you fancy” was so soft and sweet i love her so much 🥺

[@Blinkncali21]

I just saw her in vegas she walks around in the crowd. I wasn't that close to her but you could hear her voice without the mic it was so powerful and just amazing. I've gone to so many concerts idk if I've ever had a voice touch me like that

[@baybay221]

I will leave my heart at the door I won't say a word They've all been said before you know So why don't we just play pretend Like we're not scared of what's coming next Or scared of having nothing left Look, don't get me wrong I know there is no tomorrow All I ask is If this is my last night with you Hold me like I'm more than just a friend Give me a memory I can use Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do It matters how this ends 'Cause what if I never love again? I don't need your honesty It's already in your eyes And I'm sure my eyes, they speak for me No one knows me like you do And since you're the only one that matters Tell me who do I run to? Look, don't get me wrong I know there is no tomorrow All I ask is If this is my last night with you Hold me like I'm more than just a friend Give me a memory I can use Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do It matters how this ends 'Cause what if I never love again? Let this be our lesson in love Let this be the way we remember us I don't wanna be cruel or vicious And I ain't asking for forgiveness All I ask is If this is my last night with you Hold me like I'm more than just a friend Give me a memory I can use Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do It matters how this ends 'Cause what if I never love again?

[@comeonson11]

loved this , everybody singing , when the pa cut , fantstic i was in section 5 and not one person moaned through the clitch , it made the concert even more special , every emotion , crying , laughing singing , prob the all round best live act ever !! thanks for posting .

[@marythomson6951]

amazing how the audience came on so strong, and she didn't have a clue about what happened!

[@BlakeTechnology99]

She was wearing "headphones* called IEMs to hear herself. They must've kept working..

[@MerissaMitchell]

I love how she's like "The PA fucking cut off?!" hahaha too adorable! x

why would u want to skip any of her amazing voice she has such a lush voice i dont want to skip any of it lol

[@julie_anne]

Ahor MaySix that's just proof to the haters that she use her own voice to sing instead of lip sync like other artist does

3:26 You can really hear her

[@vikasbhardwaj6335]

3:42 adele was like," all i ask is *what the hell happened few moments ago*" 😂

[@EuroMIX2]

It's funny how it looks like Adele is miming along to her fans singing her song. Like she's the literal voice of a nation.

[@TwinkleHonk88T]

+EuroMIX2 She's not miming...she didn't even know it cut out!

[@EuroMIX2]

***** I know, it's just interesting watching her lip-sync along to the crowd singing her song loud enough for that to be what we hear. It's like all those voices are coming out of Adele.

[@Zidern]

Most likely she was fully aware it cut out, she just pretended she didn't notice. If you can't hear that when on stage you have a serious hearing problem. :P

[@alicesteanson4097]

+Linus Wenell I didn't know she was an actress 😂

[@sidstewart7399]

+Linus Wenell have you ever tried ear monitors? To hear the crowd she has to pop it out. She had no idea.

[@odieredila]

Wow. I love how you can still hear her voice over the audience.

That was so moving! Her fans taking over for her warms the heart. Just goes to show how strong she has become. I don't know how many times performers have complained about the sound and problems associated with the equipment at these large venues. I don't think there will be anything that she won't be able to handle now. Maybe she didn't get to hold those Hippie Rocks! LOL
